Independent North Side hotels

"We stayed at Coral Beach Villa for a month. We chose the island because of its snorkeling. This was a working vacation so internet was important. First off, the hosts were amazing, greeting us at the airport since they happened to be in Cayman Brac. Since there was a glitch with our car rental, Gino drove us to go food shopping, while Joy took our luggage to the rental. The next day Joy & Gino drove me around the small island pointing out various snorkeling locations, restaurants, grocery stores. and points of interest. Talk about 5 star concierge service. We were lucky they just happened to be on the island. But it does show what type of hosts they are. The property and house were as described. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything one needs- good cooking implements and equipment. The convenience of a house landline phone made it easy to reach restaurants to make reservations. For snorkelers: we snorkeled 5 locations on the north side of the island - reached by car. They all had easy water access either by a ladder or in 1 case a boat ramp which for us- in our late 70's was important. We saw lots of fish & even a sea turtle. One thing to note: when the winds are high and the waves are 3' or higher, snorkeling is not possible, but there are caves to explore, shore walks on rocky beaches, trails to hike and other activity options. We enjoyed meals at The Farm, The Beach Club and Cayman Brac Beach Resort for their Friday nite barbeque. We had a great 4 weeks!"

"I work 14hr days, host was a bit demanding during initial interaction expecting a call at the end of my shift when we were about a month out from our trip. We had to meet to check in vs the typical keypad entry. Lots of bugs inside home. AC didn’t distribute evenly, upstairs was very hot when downstairs was freezing. Location was good, quiet neighborhood. Private beach was a plus."

"This place was perfect for our getaway. We felt very comfortable. We will definitely be back."

"Best getaway of my life. The snorkeling out front (and half a mile up the road) was amazing! Beautiful space, great neighbors. Amazing A/C and comfy beds."

"Amazing views & beautiful beach; exactly what you need for some healing R&R. Note that the property states it has a grill & telephone; it does not have either of these."

"This place is worth every penny and they have a restaurant next door that cooks great and tasty food. The place is well kept and clean "

" Very nice, recently remodeled, bright and clean."

"beautiful view. the home was very clean and had all the needed amenities. the beds were very comfortable, lots of towels, snorkel gear on site, and other helpful amenities for our stay. Derwin. the property manager was very helpful. we appreciated the prestocked fridge option that was available. we had a slight hick up when our fridge stopped cooling during our stay however derwin was prompt to get it fixed the same day. the stay was great and we would choose this property again if we visit cayman brac again. "

"Excellent location, right on the beach, with no neighbours on either side. Very private. Very clean. All appliances, including washer and dryer work well. Plenty of beach towels. Sitting on the deck with the wind blowing through the palm trees couldn’t be more pleasant. Very close (approx. 8 minutes) to dive operations and West End stores and restaurants."
